SAINT OF THE DAY AUG 5 ST. OSWALD

ST. OSWALD

St Oswald was martyred in England, at Maserfield, later named Oswestry in his memory. He was king of Northumbria and famous as a skilled warrior – but even more as a lover of peace. He worked strenuously to spread the faith, and was killed out of hatred for Christ while fighting against the pagans.   Aug 5
